When shipping from Montreal to Taipei, anticipate significant delays due to North America winter storms (December-March) and the Western Pacific typhoon season (June-November). Build in buffer days for potential disruptions and secure carrier allocations well in advance, especially during peak periods like the Christmas retail peak (October-December) and Lunar New Year (January-February). Monitor carriers for real-time updates and adjust cut-off times accordingly to mitigate congestion and ensure timely deliveries.

Shipping Fresh food successfully Requires a continuous cold chain. Use Insulated packaging with the right amount of gel packs for refrigerated food or dry ice for Frozen food, pre‑chill products before packing, and choose a expedited service. Clearly mark boxes as “Perishable” and specify the required temperature so carriers handle them as temperature-controlled freight.
Yes, Frozen food can Usually be shipped with dry ice by air, but dry ice is regulated as a dangerous good. Airlines Set limits on how much dry ice is allowed per package and per shipment, and labels must show the net weight of dry ice and UN1845 markings. We recommend checking carrier and destination rules in advance and combining dry ice with insulated packaging to keep reefer cargo at temperature while staying within dry‑ice limits.
Standard cargo policies may Exclude coverage for temperature-related loss on Perishable goods and Frozen goods. We recommend arranging a policy that specifically covers temperature deviation and spoilage, and declaring the full value of your refrigerated food shipment. Keep packing records and temperature logs; insurers often require proof that Proper packaging was used before honoring claims.
Most Chilled food should stay between 0–4°C, while many Frozen food products must remain at −18°C or colder. Exact ranges depend on the product type and local regulations. Always Confirm requirements for each item and specify the target range on booking instructions and labels so your Reefer cargo is set correctly.
You can sometimes mix Fresh produce and Frozen food in the same load, but only if your container or vehicle can maintain separate temperature zones. Fresh produce typically needs temperatures above freezing, while Frozen goods must stay well below zero. If only one temperature setpoint is available, best practice is separating them into different Reefer cargo shipments to avoid freezing perishable goods or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh and frozen food shipments require strict temperature control throughout the air freight process. It is essential to use insulated packaging and dry ice or gel packs to maintain appropriate temperatures. Additionally, handling must be done carefully to avoid any thawing or spoilage during transit.
Shipments of fresh and frozen food from Canada to Taiwan must comply with both Canadian and Taiwanese food safety regulations. This includes obtaining necessary permits, ensuring product labeling meets Taiwanese standards, and providing health certificates for perishable goods to ensure they meet import requirements.
